To determine the rate of change in the context of a reality TV show where contestants are voted off each week, we need to understand how many contestants are eliminated over time.
The rate of change can typically be calculated by finding the difference in the number of contestants at two different points in time (weeks) and dividing that by the difference in time. In this case, the "change" is represented by the number of contestants voted off per week.
If you have a specific graph or numerical information, you would identify:
- The number of contestants at the beginning (initial value).
- The number of contestants at the end of a certain period or after a certain number of episodes.
- The number of contestants voted off each week.
Assuming the episodes consistently vote off a fixed number of contestants, the rate of change would be that fixed number, which could be represented as:
\[ \text{Rate of change} = \frac{\text{Number of contestants voted off}}{\text{Number of weeks}} \]
If you provide specific numbers from the graph or episode details, I could give you a more precise answer!
